Managing the debugging session in the Debug view

The Debug view is the control center of the debugging perspective. You use it to control the execution of the application, to suspend, resume, or terminate the application, to step into and over code, and so on.

The Debug view provides the following debug commands, which are available from the Debug view toolbar and pop-up menu:

Command	Description
Resume	Resumes the suspended application.
Suspend	Suspends the application so that you can inspect, step into the code, and so on.
Terminate	Terminates the debugging session.
Terminate and Relaunch	Terminates the current debugging session and relaunches the application into a new debugging session.
Terminate and Remove	Terminates the debugging session and removes it from the Debug view.
Terminate All	Terminates all active application debugging sessions. You can only debug one Flex application at a time; however you can simultaneously debug other types of applications (for example, a Java application).
Disconnect	Disconnects the debugger when debugging remotely.
Remove All Terminated	Clears all terminated debugging sessions.
Use Step Filters	This command is not supported in Flex Builder.
Step Into	Steps into the called function and stops at the first line of the function.
Step Over	Executes the current line of the function and then stops at the next line of the function.
Step Return	Continues execution until the current function has returned to its caller.
Show Qualified Names	This command is not supported in Flex Builder.
Copy Stack	Copies the selected stack to the clipboard.
Drop to Frame	This command is not supported in Flex Builder.
Relaunch	Re-launches the application into a new debugging session.
